Health tech founders often lack expertise across multiple domains (clinical, regulatory, technical, business) but don't know which gaps are most critical to fill or how to attract investors who value self-awareness about weaknesses. Current hiring approaches fail because founders either hire generalists who can't solve domain-specific problems or waste resources recruiting for roles they don't yet understand. Investors actively penalize founders who pretend to have all answers, creating pressure to quickly build credible teams—but founders lack frameworks for identifying exactly what expertise they need and where to find it.
